CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACT, 1890.
During the year 1908 applications were made to me by five
owners of tenement properties to inspect their property, with a
view to giving certificates that the tenements were so constructed
"as to afford suitable accommodation for each of the families or
" persons dwelling therein, and that due provision is made for their
"sanitary requirements," for the purpose of obtaining exemption
from Inhabited House Duty. The five applications had reference
to 37 tenements. These I inspected, and granted the required
certificates, after the execution of certain necessary alterations.
CANAL BOATS ACT, 1877-1894.
The Canal Boats Inspector of the Borough reports that he
made 83 visits to the waterways in the Borough during 1908, and
inspected 50 canal boats. Amongst these he found three infringements
of the Regulations, i.e., the marking on the boat required by
Act was not legible, the boat required repainting and the Certificate
of Registration was not on board. The remainder of the boats
were found to be in good repair, clean and habitable.
ICE CREAM VENDORS.
During the year 88 premises where ice creams are manufactured
were inspected, and 8 notices for the abatement of
nuisances were served. The nuisances were abated without
necessitating further action. At the end of 1908 there were
128 ice cream premises on the Register.
